Kırgızcada Zarf-fiiller
Özet
KARA, Abdullah,This thesis is a descriptive study discussing the converbs in Kirghiz syntactictypological
synchronically. Converbs, are marked by certain morphemes, syntactically
connected to a main clause as a subordinate and are generally used as adverbial
function. These structures undertake different syntactic tasks such as time, cause,
manner, purpose in their basic sentences. Kirghiz is a Turkic language, which is a
member of Northwest (Kipchak) group that forms the Aral-Caspian sub-group together
with the Kazakh, Noghay, Karakalpak dialects as well.
As it is in other Turkic languages, converb segments in Kirghiz formed with certain
converbs suffixes (-(X)p, -A/-O;-y, -mAyInčA/-mOyUnčA, -GAnčA/-GOnčO, -GIčA/-
GUčA, -GAnDA/-GOndO, -GAnDAy/-GOndOy, -GAn/-GOn boydon, -GAn/-GOn sayïn,
-GAnDAn/-GOndOn bašqa, -GAndAn/-GOndOn kiyin) have various syntactic and
semantic tasks. In this study, these tasks are described in detail on the basis of
Johanson’s (1995) theoretical approach.
According to this model of Johanson, Kirghiz converb suffixes appear in 4 levels: in
Level 1 and Level 2, focused on that the converb segment and base segment whether or
not to take the different or same first actant. While focused on the lexicazation of the
converb structures In Level 3, in Level 4 the transformation of certain converb
structures in time grammatical categories (suffixes) such as actionality, modality and
aspect-tense has been discussed.
